Poe’s Recommended Books & Movies

Posted by Poe on August 2nd, 2015

Just as Mato started to get over his cold/flu, I developed a sore throat & cough! Nobody wants to listen to a pair of coughing sickies play video games, so Poemato CX will be on hold for a little longer than anticipated. Since we haven’t been streaming, we’ve been watching movies on Netflix instead. I’ve also been reading lots of books. Here are some books & movies I’ve read & watched in 2015 that I’d like to recommend:

Books:

2001: A Space Odyssey – I’ve read all four books in the Space Odyssey series, but the first one is my favorite. It’s slightly different from the excellent movie, but in the best ways possible.

Angry Housewives Eating Bon-Bons – I’m not just into sci-fi, lol. This book follows the lives of five ladies over the course of about 30 years who start a book club together. A entertaining read.

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up – I’m also super into self-help books. This one teaches you a new method for clearing the clutter out of your life for good. It encourages you to keep only the things that “spark joy”.

Movies:

God of Cookery – A very silly kung fu movie about cooking. It’s by the same people who did Kung Fu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer.

The Brass Teapot – A weird and entertaining independent movie about a couple who finds a teapot that spits out money whenever they injure themselves.

Time Lapse – A time-travel movie about a group of twenty-somethings who find a machine that takes pictures 24 hours into the future. They exploit it for personal gain & there are consequences.

I could go on and on, but that short list should be enough to keep you guys entertained for a bit! Also, Grandma’s Boy recently became available to watch on Netflix Instant streaming. That’s Poemato’s #1 favorite movie of all time, and we both highly recommend it.
